Mr. Rare Returns: The Crystal Vortex Arrives (Part 2)

One year later…

Most of the team has left from that period to pursue their own agendas. All out on their own, they all left on their own separate paths across the sea. Tannen, Katty, Zolhalla, and even Steffbird left the scene. Alistor's master Sairori mysteriously vanished without a trace.

Only Maigashi and Auroa remained to see if Alistor ever returned. But, unfortunately, that day never came. So Maigashi decides to leave off on a long journey alone. Again, believing Alistor was never coming back.

Days turned to weeks and then to months. Auroa was the final member to remain. He is seen contemplating alone on a chair.

"Friends moved on, and managing this home left me poor. The city's prices are ridiculous, and I was despised because I couldn't deliver."

He moved towards the window, holding one half of a firecrest. He made a decision.

"Perhaps it's time. My time to pay a visit down memory lane." Auroa thought.

Auroa packs his bag and leaves. Eventually, he arrives at some village on the far outskirts. He confronts a lady in red.

"You again? What do you want?"

"To thank you, of course. But, Sarah… .it's been nearly a decade. You remembered our promise, didn't you?"

He pulls out the other half of the firecrest to stir some memories. Sarah took a moment to contemplate.

"Don't ever show your face around these parts again. You've been warned."

She coldly walks away, leaving him in the dark.

Auroa soon arrives at some bridge. He tosses his half of the firecrest into the open sea. A dark presence was within the midst.

"You've been running long enough…boy."

Auroa turns around to confront the figure. But, unfortunately, it was none other than Mr. Rare himself.

"It's been a long time….father…."
